WHAT'S MY NAME?

Dawn of "As Sweet As Cinnamon"  ... IS just the sweetest, nicest blogger I know (and I know quite a few really sweet people, lol)  wants to know how  I came to name my blog "VERSANA" .    Long story ,  okay, the short story is that I'm a zany, crazy kind of gal.  Raising three children and a husband, passionately sewing, creating and oh yeah, collecting fabric AND working the streets  of the big city everyday for some twenty years as a street cop makes you a little wild and crazy...just a little.  So when I was searching my brain for just the right name for a blog, the word crazy (in a fun kind of way) was foremost in my thoughts.  But, I can't be just an ordinary crazy so I asked my kids what one word (or maybe a couple) came to their minds when they thought of me.  Take my advice, never ask your kids a question like that!  lol... My oldest, a Latin scholar quickly diffused the situation by suggesting "Versana" ...  I hurried to look it up, cuz she just wouldn't tell me what it meant.  It means "WILD" like a whirlwind!  You know...that IS what my household and life has been (my poor children), so Versana it is!   Cuzzzz, I AM  WILD AND CRAZY !!!  just ask my kids...grin!
So there, you have it (long story...lol) .   Go on...tell us what your name is ... Here

I love it! I did wonder how you arrived at your name and still didn't look it up. Marilyn's maze is pretty self explanatory. ;-)

I love your story on how you came up with your name....I have never been game enough to ask my kids that question lol. I really like names like yours and maybe I should learn latin to come up with some different names for things. Love your blog too :) Hugs Vicki x
